WELL WORTH IT

I did a lot of research on my tires. I wanted quiet but aggressive tires for all road conditions. Discussion with the tire supplier was a choice situation. I have ridden on Michelin tires since the 1970's. Michelin has simply improved all along. I have done all types of driving in the NWT, Yukon and outback BC. Paved, gravel, off road and a side wall rock puncture - replaced The thing that made the choice final was the fact that my truck driver neighbour showed my his Michelins on his truck. He said his Defenders have served him well. I also have 6 Michelin LTX tires on our motor home RV. Great product with a great guarantee.

LTX M/S LTX M/S 2 & tomorrow the Defender LTX M/S

I've been driving since 1983. I've driven a tremendous amount of miles for someone who doesn't make a living driving cargo. I've run the first 2 versions of this line on a Chevy Tahoe 4x4 and Ford F-150 4x4. These tires are amazing. They run noticeably smoother, quieter and longer than OEM tires. They are absolutely the best all purpose on road tire available in our Cleveland and Ohio climate. I know Michelin does not approve running tires too long and I never will again. but our last set, on the Tahoe, ran 117,000 miles when we sold the Tahoe at 260,000 miles. A friend purchased the vehicle and said the tires ran another 10,000 miles.

Amazing

26570R17, I knew the minute I drove away from the dealer, that I had made the right choice. The smooth, quiet, ride, at 40 PSI, was immediately VERY noticeable. I will soon find out how they do on the highway, and during Chicago winters. I am very pleased with this purchase! We drive about 50/50 city, highway, and this is our vehicle of choice for travel. Comfort is important to us, and these really fill the bill. If they are as good as Michelin says they will be, (rain, snow, stopping, traction, handling) I will be a Michelin buyer for everything. BUY THIS TIRE! Even my wife commented on how smooth and quiet they are.

Great Tire

I have had the Defender on my 2013 Ford Explorer for a few days. I almost didn't buy them because of reviews saying that they are noisy and have poor ride quality. I am glad that I didn't believe those reviews. These tires are as quiet as my old Latitudes and give me a good ride, plus I get the 70,000 mile warranty instead of 55,000 miles. Having the tires for only a few days, I haven't tried the in snow yet, but they have a good tread design to give good traction. I am very pleased with my decision to buy the Defender.

Outstanding Quality, Longevity and Performance

I am rating the LTX M/S2 tires that I replaced today (11/17/2016) with Michelin LTX A/T2 tires. I logged a total of 70,752 miles on those LTX M/S2 tires and received service from them for 5 years with no dry rot, no premature aging or premature wear. I could have logged another 3,000 miles on the ones I replaced today but decided to go ahead and install new ones for the winter. I have bought only Michelin tires (after negative experiences with other brands) since 1996. In fact, when I have purchased a new vehicle that wasn't equipped with Michelins, I would immediately replace them with Michelins.

Disappointed

I recently bought a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires to replace a set of Michelin Latitude tires that came on my Grand Cherokee. The ride is much rougher with the Defender tires than the Latitude tires. The road noise is also higher with the Defender tires. I am disappointed with the Defender tires.

Wow! So far...

I just put a set of 4 Defender LTX M/S tires on my restored 2004 Land Rover Discovery and noticed immediately a smoother, quieter ride. The tires corner and ride extremely well. I just drove through a major rain storm with no problems at all. The tires are still new (driven about 500 miles) and let's see how they hold up over time. So far -- great!

***UPDATE*** Ulra Disappointed

I had previously mentioned how rough and loud these set of tires are. After going back to the tire store, the mechanic suggested I get my U-joint fixed. The took care of the rough ride and the road noise. These are now the Michelin tires that I have come to expect. I appreciate Michelin customer service responding to me very quickly.

Ultra Disappointed

I bought 3 sets of the previous generation version of these tires and was so happy. I couldn't wait to put the updated version on my Suburban. And then I did. Roughest and loudest tires I have ever owned-and I have had aggressive all-terrain tires on this same SUV. When I get close to 70 mph or faster, these tires are unbelievably loud. For the most expensive (or certainly one of) all-season tires you can buy, this is unacceptable. Thought I would just continue buying the best Michelin tires available every time I needed tires. I think that just changed.

Great tires, second set of same tire. Got 64,000 miles out of the old set. Superior nde and traction. Will buy again.
